"Shut up!!!" he snapped uncontrollably. Making Alan take a small step back. He didn't argue much, knowing his boss's anger was spiraling out of control. He merely reminded him that the meeting that would take place in three hours was a necessity.
Instead of sitting back and leaning, Alef chose to rise. He grabbed his walking stick promptly and strode arrogantly. His movements were mimicked by Alan and several other aides. Meanwhile, the rest of them let out relieved breaths and quickly enlisted someone to tidy up the mess their boss had caused.
"Soon Group Azure will be mine, Alan," he said softly, but the tone was genuinely chilling. It made the hairs on the people around him suddenly stand on end. Not to mention the dark aura that never faded from him, always instilling a unique fear when facing him.

Alef felt like he wanted to unleash all his anger on Sebastian. His facade was now exposed. And for some reason, he felt that this Clara Sebastian wasn't just an ordinary man who could be easily pushed around."Even though the pinnacle was almost within Mr. Alef's grasp, I never imagined that Group Azure would fall into Mr. Alef's hands."In unison, they all nodded in agreement."It's possible... Group Azure could be on the brink of bankruptcy in less than two years." Then, Sebastian directed his gaze at Alef, who was also looking back at him now. Intense.
